A daylong standoff between police and a man who barricaded himself inside a San Francisco home early today ended peacefully this evening with the man's arrest, according to police Officer Maria Oropeza.

The suspect, who is in his 30s, barricaded himself inside the home near the intersection of Third and Lane streets in the city's Bayview District around 7 a.m. today.

Police said four women were inside the home with the man when he shut himself in, and that three were initially released. The fourth woman exited the home around 4:40 p.m.

Oropeza said police entered the home this evening and took the suspect into custody without incident. She declined to release the man's name and did not know whether he was armed at the time of his arrest.

Oropeza said she expected the streets surrounding the home to be reopened by about 7 p.m.
